About Culture Bump
Culture Bumps™ in Global Classrooms is a unique app that compares ten common behaviors in university classrooms around the globe. These include day to day situations such as coming to class late, working in groups, using electronics in class and showing respect to the professor.
This intercultural listing of both similarities and differences (culture bumps™) between USA classrooms and those in Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Morocco, Libya, Algeria, Egypt, Cote d Ivoire, Angola, England, France, Italy, Spain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Korea, Turkey and Vietnam provides valuable information for students and teachers about one another.
While the app is useful for individuals, it can also be used for classroom activities which are described in two tutorials linked to the app. For those who want more information about Culture Bumps™ and intercultural communication, a link to "Living with Strangers in the USA" is also available on the app.

My family is moving to Spain and my brother is going to school in Madrid, so this is a good tool for him to understand what is acceptable and unacceptable in the classroom. I am not going to school there, but I still think this app is fascinating with different cultural views and I think it's interesting how different the cultures are in each country.
